Eloise would love to come and see each and every one of you and give you a nice big Christmas hug! Though that is not possible right now, know that you are in her thoughts and prayers...and, if she has your phone number, probably on your caller id :) .
This is her first Christmas without Gordon and I'm sure she misses him terribly. But she gets to see him every night in her dreams. I know this because I get to hear about them every morning and she literally has a dream which Gordon is in almost every night.
Eloise has a testimony of the Savior. She relies on him daily to help her through the day and to keep up her strength. It also helps her keep her patient attitude toward those around her. Even while carrying her heavy burdens daily she is still sweet and loving.
